Because I'm a crazy mofo I got tempted to edit my address to remove the county. Low and behold it changed my delivery estimate back to 27-29 Sept. I re-added the county and it went back to 20-22 Sept. So for those who believe it's a 'caching' issue, you're wrong. It's a glitch, or a purposefully coded precaution to provide slightly longer delivery dates for locations that it doesn't recognise.
Good find! That is a very interesting bug/feature, so all the people who saw the bump initially must have had their county in their shipping address already
 
Haha, I jumped while reading this as I thought you'd maybe want to swap, but I'm after the Plus.

I've got a 32gb silver plus at meadowhall but NOT on upgrade program which I want - waiting for issues there!
They never opened reservations for Plus on upgrade program.
 
Is anyone aware of any stores who will stocking the plus model in store tomorrow to buy? :)

I very much doubt anyone will have stock this weekend - given that so far all retailers have offered pre-orders , yet have had no pluses to order (e.g JL). Obviously the stock does not yet exist.

SHIPMENT PICKUP, NORMAL STATUS

Looks like the shipments were all moving at roughly the same time but they took their time updating each order with the despatch info.
 
Finally some movement on my phone for delivery tomorrow. It's coming via UK Mail and not DPD like I thought, DPD are like clockwork where I work, UK Mail I'm not so sure of, got tracking though so roll on tomorrow!
 
It's not an iPhone but my Apple Watch is being delivered by UK Mail tomorrow! I don't think I have ever had a delivery from them, are they ok generally?

They're who I've had iPhones delivered with on past launch days. They're pretty reliable in that limited experience. I just can't remember what on-the-day tracking is like but I think you can see where the van is.
 
Mines now dispatched on apple site too but still can't see anywhere on DPD site about paying to upgrade delivery? All I can see is "change delivery day" or "leave with neighbour" or "collect from pickup shop".....id love an am delivery really, not fussed on what time but would like to go home on my lunch break to get it so can someone show me how please??

And explains why the London orders weren't bumped, as you would never enter anything under county for London

You will be fine.
If you think about the value of the contracts between U.K. Mail/ DPD and apple they would be morons to mess up. It's absolutely beneficial to the couriers to do this well.
